Appearing Thursday on Sirius radio, John Madden sounded off on the Jay Cutler criticism. “I’ve been in football for over 50 years. I’ve never questioned a player’s toughness. I never have. Whether it was in coaching, broadcasting, whatever. “There’s no one in the NFL that has a tougher job to do than Jay Cutler. I think playing quarterback in the NFL is the toughest thing you can do. I think throwing a forward pass and having guys rushing you and hitting you when you’re looking downfield and throwing the ball is the toughest act you have to do.†After talking about how Cutler plays with Type 1 diabetes, Madden picked up the intensity. “And then people are looking at him, they put a camera on him, and they say they don’t like his demeanor,†he said. “Demeanor hell! “Live a day in his shoes. Type I diabetes is not a daytime thing. It’s not a week thing. It’s not a month thing. It’s a life thing. And it’s every day, and it’s every day for 24 hours.†Madden’s grandson suffers from Type 1 diabetes. Source: CBS Sports
